Quebec Canada

Located on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, Quebec is a city with attractive features and a distinct French charm. It boasts a variety of attractions, including museums, arts and culture, sports, and outdoor activities. It is the only city in North America that still has its original city walls. The main attraction in Quebec City is the Old Town, also known as Haute-Ville, which is encircled by a stone wall constructed by both French and British armies. The Citadelle is the largest British fortress in North America. The changing of the guard ceremony takes place at 10 in the morning. The stunning Chateau Frontenac is a symbol of Quebec City. Terrasse Dufferin is a boardwalk located next to the Chateau Frontenac and provides a fantastic view of the St. Lawrence River. Quartier Petit Champlain is a neighborhood in the Old Lower Town. It is quite scenic, especially when seen from the Breakneck Stairs. The narrow cobblestone streets are filled with small shops and cafes. It's a great neighborhood to explore with a camera. The Basilica Notre Dame de Quebec is the oldest church in the Americas north of Mexico. The Museum of Civilization is an excellent place to learn about Quebec's Aboriginal peoples. A visit to Quebec City would not be complete without watching a street performance. The city celebrates its performers and performances often take place in the town square and parks. Be sure to grab a seat for some live entertainment and remember to leave a tip at the end.
